Welcome to your one hour One Show with the very steady on his feet,

:00:25.:00:32.

Chris Evans. And down to the last six. Yes, she's still in there,

:00:32.:00:40.

folks. Super Strictly Alex Jones. Why have we got our skates on? Well,

:00:40.:00:43.

later we will be talking to our latest national champions on ice,

:00:43.:00:46.

fresh from their big win at the Figure Skating Championships last

:00:46.:00:56.
:00:56.:00:58.

weekend. 11-year-old Lucy Burton, a skating prodigy, who cannot find a

:00:58.:01:02.

partner, everyone. She is a little Jane Torvill. Could you be her

:01:02.:01:07.

Christopher Dean? If so, e-mail us and send us a picture of you

:01:07.:01:13.

looking cool on ice. And, on the day they launched their bid for the

:01:13.:01:15.

Christmas number one, it is the fantastic Military Wives Choir with

:01:15.:01:25.
:01:25.:01:34.

Before all that, it is time to switch our like some. We have a

:01:34.:01:44.
:01:44.:01:48.

very special secret Santa. Here is it going to be a? It is Bruno

:01:48.:01:56.

Tonioli. Bruno is here to help Alex at with her nerves. John Bishop

:01:56.:02:06.
:02:06.:02:06.

should be here but he has not arrived yet, has he? I am a good

:02:06.:02:11.

substitute. Have you turned anything on recently? Oh yes, all

:02:11.:02:21.
:02:21.:02:30.

the time Foster are we ready? we have a countdown? Gorgeous! Very

:02:30.:02:37.

pretty. First up we're heading to the home town of John Bishop. Paris,

:02:37.:02:44.

Venice and Liverpool. John Bishop a's birthplace is it in the premier

:02:44.:02:50.

league of world heritage, according to UNESCO. Several parts of the

:02:50.:02:57.

waterfront have inherited World Heritage Sites, including the

:02:57.:03:00.

Pierhead. Some fear its World Heritage status could soon become a

:03:00.:03:10.

thing of the past. Why? The future could be this. Liverpool waters, a

:03:10.:03:15.

five and a half -- �5.5 billion development of homes, offices and

:03:15.:03:20.

shops planned for the City Centre docks. At its heart the Shanghai

:03:20.:03:27.

Tang, a skyscraper that will be the tallest in the UK outside London. -

:03:27.:03:33.

- Tower. UNESCO had just visited the site. Prior to the visit

:03:33.:03:38.

expressed extreme concern about the impact of the new development. They

:03:39.:03:43.

are not alone. It is the scale and mass of the development which is a

:03:44.:03:53.
:03:54.:03:54.

great concern. We should look to Amsterdam and build humane scale

:03:54.:03:59.

developments around the waterways. I knew someone who is standing in

:03:59.:04:06.

the wake of progress? -- are used someone who is standing in the way?

:04:06.:04:12.

It needs to be done skilfully. It has to be clever. The best thing

:04:12.:04:18.

the people of Liverpool can have is a world heritage site. Why would

:04:18.:04:23.

you put that are at risk? Liverpool was granted equal billing with the

:04:23.:04:31.

Taj Mahal and the pyramids, because of its contribution to trade,

:04:31.:04:36.

Innovation and Technology in the 18th and 19th centuries. The

:04:36.:04:40.

weather might be questionable today but Liverpool has brushed up nicely.

:04:40.:04:45.

Three years ago it was European Capital of Culture. It has a fancy

:04:45.:04:49.

new museum. Even where you catch the ferry across the Mersey has had

:04:49.:04:55.

a makeover. Could the world heritage tag turn the city into a

:04:55.:04:59.

cultural theme park? It is a fate that Liverpool City Council, with

:04:59.:05:05.

poverty and lack of jobs still major issues, are keen to avoid.

:05:05.:05:09.

north Liverpool, it is an area which is in need of regeneration.

:05:10.:05:16.

For many years this dockside has been unused and am working. As the

:05:16.:05:20.

combination of residential and retail shops takes place, it will

:05:20.:05:26.

increase significantly the number of jobs in the area. According to

:05:26.:05:29.

Paul, while the proposals might be new, the controversy surrounding

:05:29.:05:38.

them is not. Even in the original live the building, it was deeply

:05:38.:05:42.

controversial. It created a lot of discussion in the local media. It

:05:42.:05:47.

is not surprising that something on the scale of the redevelopment

:05:47.:05:51.

proposals in the docks is creating some controversy. We are confident

:05:51.:05:55.

we can work with the developer and UNESCO and make sure we can find a

:05:55.:06:01.

common way forward to help the regeneration of the city and the

:06:01.:06:11.
:06:11.:06:11.

World Heritage Site. Potentially great news for the 1600 students.

:06:11.:06:15.

The Faculty of construction and engineering at Liverpool College.

:06:15.:06:21.

It can soon be Britain's biggest building site. In a class behind me,

:06:21.:06:25.

there are all trainee electrician has. In order for them to be

:06:25.:06:30.

qualified, every single one needs to find an employer. These students

:06:30.:06:33.

the first people in their families to have worked for a considerable

:06:33.:06:38.

number of years. Anything that brings prospers finances to the

:06:38.:06:44.

city and enables people to work can only be a good thing. Is the loss

:06:44.:06:49.

of the World Heritage status a price worth paying for jobs?

:06:49.:06:56.

would rather have a job. Are you worried about getting a job? Proper

:06:56.:07:04.

worried. It worries me. Nowadays, it is hard to get a job. I would

:07:04.:07:09.

prefer a job than status. Is it more important to preserve the past

:07:09.:07:15.

or develop the future? Can Heritage and innovation exist side-by-side?

:07:15.:07:18.

Unesco's say they will let the people of Liverpool know the answer

:07:18.:07:27.

next summer. -- UNESCO. We're still waiting for John Bishop. He is in

:07:27.:07:34.

the building. He is in make-up. should be here with us. It is the

:07:34.:07:41.

quarter-finals of Strictly. She has made it, everyone. You have done

:07:41.:07:47.

brilliant. Miss American Smooth. Is she of their request to mark you

:07:47.:07:57.

are a naughty boy! -- is she your favourite? I take every show as if

:07:57.:08:02.

I have never seen them perform. There are moments in which things

:08:02.:08:07.

go amazingly well then something happens and you can turn the whole

:08:07.:08:12.

thing around. We really have to call it as we see it. I love you

:08:12.:08:20.

and I love them all. Let's have a reminder of last week. Here is

:08:20.:08:26.

Jason and Kristina Rihanoff at Wembley. This is your favourite

:08:26.:08:32.

moment. Look at him and go completely wrong. Disaster! Bless

:08:32.:08:38.

him. That was going fantastically well. He could have got 10 from all

:08:38.:08:44.

the judges. He lost the side flick. It did not turn out the way it

:08:44.:08:51.

should have been. We get that things can go wrong in live shows.

:08:51.:08:55.

We have experience with that. Thank you for helping as abs. What some

:08:55.:09:03.

of the villas and can set -- contestants -- what the viewers and

:09:03.:09:08.

contestants could not believe was that when he went wrong, he's still

:09:08.:09:15.

got a nine. He'd just lost his footing. Up till that moment, it

:09:15.:09:21.

was one of the best. It could have been 10 or across. He forgot the

:09:21.:09:31.

bar but he caught up with it. have another highlight. Another

:09:31.:09:36.

highlight. Someone who is fantastic consistently in the series, Harry

:09:36.:09:42.

Judd. The Quickstep. He puts sway interns, which is the most

:09:42.:09:52.

difficult thing to do. -- in terms. That is so hard to do. For somebody

:09:52.:09:58.

who has never done this before off, he is getting better and better. He

:09:58.:10:05.

is a natural. Before it was tight. Now he is relaxed. Chris Evans, you

:10:05.:10:12.

are not going to get me into trouble. You do not need my help!

:10:12.:10:19.

can see your eyes. You tease me. I have stopped myself. Clip number

:10:20.:10:26.

three. I have stopped myself. is superb the stab someone we still

:10:26.:10:36.
:10:36.:10:37.

do mess is Russell. -- is superb. Looked at the joy of it all!

:10:37.:10:45.

Typical, a typical, great fun. He is going for it. Slavia kick at

:10:45.:10:55.
:10:55.:11:04.

I do believe that John Bishop is here. John Bishop, everybody pulls

:11:04.:11:14.
:11:14.:11:16.

up what time do you call this? everybody. I got stuck in London.

:11:16.:11:26.
:11:26.:11:27.

You got stuck where we are. I had been a mile away since Wednesday.

:11:27.:11:35.

Bruno, have you got your mark paddles? We had them somewhere. At

:11:35.:11:42.

the end of his DVD, there is some dancing going on. Do you want to do

:11:42.:11:52.
:11:52.:12:00.

Strictly? I family never it. A have a look at this. -- love it. Play it

:12:00.:12:10.
:12:10.:12:10.

all. Come back. Come back. Look at that! The timing is not bad. A bit

:12:10.:12:20.
:12:20.:12:21.

more conviction. I have been well stitched up. It is our new DVD.

:12:21.:12:26.

Normally you have to watch an hour and a half of DVD before you get to

:12:26.:12:33.

that bit. Is that a covert audition or plead to be in Strictly next

:12:33.:12:43.
:12:43.:12:43.

year? You will be great. tension, every week, as you're

:12:43.:12:51.

getting judged. You will love it. You can answer back to the judges.

:12:51.:12:59.

I cannot answer back! You are a professional comedian! You and me

:12:59.:13:09.
:13:09.:13:13.

on this count, it sounds like the Aren't they getting on well?

:13:13.:13:20.

think it will be great. How many for that dance? I think I will give

us all evening, hope for. -- With a going to take it was dubbed

:13:55.:14:04.

I made him laugh. -- we are going to take it. Race has the tear up

:14:04.:14:12.

the big girl born in Wrexham he became the -- race has the tale of

:14:12.:14:18.

a girl born in Wrexham who became the first Mr Byers. This Lancashire

:14:19.:14:24.

last wanted to be more than begun next door. She went from factory

:14:24.:14:30.

girl to Beauty Queen - Britain's first Miss World. This is very

:14:30.:14:35.

exciting. I would never have had the opportunity to do this before.

:14:35.:14:41.

It may seem rather shallow today but beating the Americans on the

:14:41.:14:46.

glamour stakes felt like a win worth having. 10 million viewers

:14:46.:14:56.
:14:56.:14:57.

Rosemary was going places. From a machinist at one of Britain's

:14:57.:15:00.

biggest shoemakers to a celebrity. People were thinking, how can

:15:01.:15:05.

somebody who works in the factory get through to the Miss World

:15:05.:15:11.

contest? Did you watch? Yes. I was convinced she would make the last

:15:11.:15:17.

three and when she won it, it was brilliant. For young Rosemary,

:15:17.:15:20.

opportunities were thin on the ground. She was brought up by her

:15:20.:15:25.

grandma in North Wales. Once remarried, her mother brought her

:15:25.:15:30.

back to this Lancaster semi- detached house. Most girls who did

:15:30.:15:34.

not get to go to grammar school did not get any qualifications and they

:15:34.:15:41.

got factory jobs. Her Elizabeth Taylor features were her ticket out

:15:41.:15:45.

of the factory and into Marks & Spencer as a shop assistant. Soon,

:15:45.:15:50.

she was wearing the next big thing, the bikini, in a beauty contest. In

:15:50.:15:55.

fact, she took the plunge and entered several. She became a

:15:55.:15:59.

serial contestant, winning Miss Lancaster, Miss Morecambe, Miss

:15:59.:16:07.

Wales and Miss UK all in one year. Next stop, the world! By now,

:16:07.:16:13.

beauty was big business. As Miss World, she would earn 20 grand in a

:16:13.:16:19.

year. As a shoemaker, just two pounds a week. Another local girl

:16:19.:16:25.

recalls her bringing back the title to Lancaster. Suddenly, I could see

:16:25.:16:29.

this extraordinary girl, and it was Rosemarie Frankland. But she looked

:16:29.:16:35.

like Elizabeth Taylor. You had never seen anything so exotic in

:16:35.:16:41.

your life. She opened her mouth and said, all right, I will see you. We

:16:41.:16:48.

thought, oh, my God. She is like us. But she left Lancaster and headed

:16:48.:16:55.

for Los Angeles. With the comic who crowned her, Bob Hope. Nearly three

:16:55.:17:00.

times her age, but with a Hollywood home, Rosemary was smitten. I would

:17:00.:17:04.

like to be an entertainer. I have had a taste of showbusiness and I

:17:04.:17:09.

would love to be an entertainer. Instead, she got bit parts in the

:17:09.:17:13.

odd movie. Her last Hollywood hope was as Bob Hope's personal

:17:13.:17:17.

assistant before their ten-year affair faded. And Britain's love

:17:17.:17:24.

affair with Miss World fizzled out, too. In 1970, people rained down a

:17:24.:17:29.

new brand of flower power on its old time host, Bob Hope.

:17:29.:17:38.

Proceedings have been temporarily suspended. In the 1970s, feminism

:17:38.:17:44.

suddenly arrived, blowing in from America. And Miss World, inside

:17:44.:17:48.

that kind of modernism, it was just insane. Newspapers stopped writing

:17:48.:17:54.

about it and the whole thing was crumbling. And the great regret of

:17:54.:18:04.
:18:04.:18:04.

my life is that I wasn't there myself, chucking stuff at Bob Hope!

:18:04.:18:10.

Eventually, the BBC took Miss World off the air. Even for the showgirl

:18:10.:18:15.

Queen, the competition had lost its shine. She said they were just so

:18:15.:18:19.

some feller could get a quick thrill. They should, she said,

:18:19.:18:24.

shove it in the archives and forget about it. You wake up and realise

:18:24.:18:29.

you are no longer Miss World, how would you feel? It will be a weight

:18:29.:18:33.

off my mind because I no longer have to live up to something. I can

:18:33.:18:37.

just the ordinary Rosemarie Frankland once again. But Los

:18:37.:18:41.

Angeles was not the best place to be playing anyone. In 2000, she

:18:41.:18:46.

died alone in a two bed apartment of a suspected overdose. The girl

:18:46.:18:56.
:18:56.:18:57.

who had had the world at her feet So, a sad end to war was a sorry

:18:57.:19:03.

tale. A big news story at the time. Years, when she won and when she

:19:03.:19:07.

died. Only five people from the UK have become his world. The first

:19:07.:19:14.

one, a sad end to her tale. The second was in 1964, the beautiful

:19:14.:19:19.

Ann Sydney. A very lovely lady. Here Shias, walking across the

:19:19.:19:24.

podium. She was a very fine ice skater, incidentally. Where is she

:19:24.:19:31.

now? In Los Angeles, 6-7, very happy. In those days, she dated

:19:31.:19:38.

Bruce Forsyth. I asked him about her and he did not say a great deal.

:19:38.:19:45.

When you asked, did you ask him what we are all thinking you asked

:19:45.:19:52.

him? Yes, and he said, nice to have seen her, to have seen her, nice.

:19:52.:20:00.

The next one was in 1965, Lesley Langley. Here she is. She is now 68

:20:01.:20:04.

and rumoured to be working as a dental receptionist in Weymouth. I

:20:04.:20:09.

hope she will get in touch because I have a difficult tooth. If she is

:20:09.:20:16.

watching, we tried to get in touch. Please contact the show. Next, 1974,

:20:16.:20:22.

Helen Morgan. We have pictures of her moving about the stage. She was

:20:22.:20:28.

so surprised and excited. She had been Miss Wales, and she became a

:20:28.:20:33.

Miss World. But I am afraid her reign only lasted for four days. It

:20:33.:20:39.

was revealed that she had a baby, an 18 month old baby. Although she

:20:39.:20:44.

was still eligible, because it is Miss World and she was not married,

:20:44.:20:50.

not being married was also a problem in 1974. With the child.

:20:50.:20:55.

She was from Barry. She was from Barry end she went back to bury it.

:20:55.:21:04.

Barry, if you are watching, contact the show. Were the happy end to her

:21:04.:21:11.

show. I love the way you said, she was a single mum, she was from Bury.

:21:11.:21:17.

1983, you would have loved this, Sarah Jane-Hutt. There she is. Do

:21:17.:21:23.

you think she is lovely? I think she's lovely, but she was not sure.

:21:23.:21:30.

Don't tell me she is a bloke! lot of the people taking part did

:21:30.:21:34.

not think she was lovely and there was a lot of bad feeling and some

:21:34.:21:38.

contestants refused to go to the coronation ball to accept the prize

:21:38.:21:44.

alongside her. They did not think she was pretty. They hijacked the

:21:44.:21:52.

dinner! That is our famous five, but we have a miss Hammersmith.

:21:52.:21:58.

That is a very attractive look. that you, Gyles Brandreth? There

:21:58.:22:01.

are some great shows across the UK this Christmas but there happens to

:22:01.:22:05.

be a musical production of The Importance Of Being Earnest, Oscar

:22:05.:22:15.
:22:15.:22:16.

Wilde's classic play. Leads in of the lad from the comprehensive side

:22:16.:22:21.

of the fence - Oscar Wilde's classic play. -- lets involve the

:22:21.:22:26.

lad. I realise I am too old for Hammett and too young for King Lear,

:22:26.:22:30.

but just about right for Lady Bracknell. I have been given this

:22:30.:22:36.

role and I am the grandmother of the present Queen, Queen Mary, that

:22:37.:22:44.

is the look I have got. Thank you, Gyles Brandreth. In a moment, we

:22:45.:22:49.

are going out to chat to our champion figure skaters. Everybody

:22:49.:22:57.

has arrived now. At last! We have been finding out about our love

:22:57.:23:01.

affair with ice skating. The last time that the Thames froze

:23:01.:23:06.

over was 1814, and it is now 10:15am and it does not look like

:23:06.:23:11.

it will be frozen by a quarter past six, does it? Thankfully, there is

:23:11.:23:15.

another way to ice skate down the Thames. This is the Tower of

:23:15.:23:19.

London's seasonal ice rink, my starting-point on a mission to

:23:19.:23:23.

skate the winter ice rinks up river to historic Hampton Court Palace.

:23:23.:23:27.

By the time I get there, I hope to have mastered one of the moves from

:23:27.:23:32.

Torvill and Dean's gold medal- winning performance, with a little

:23:32.:23:38.

help from these two. Hello. That was a nice move. I am nervous about

:23:38.:23:42.

getting out there because I have never been ice skating before. I

:23:42.:23:46.

have always thought I would be really good. How hard is this dance

:23:46.:23:53.

on a scale of 1 to 10? 12. It is more slippery than I thought.

:23:53.:23:59.

are going to do this. No more than that. And hopefully the other way

:23:59.:24:04.

round with an arm movement. This ice skating historian is joining me

:24:04.:24:09.

on a boat up the River Thames. When the river was frozen, what would

:24:09.:24:15.

happen on it? Well, you had typically the great frost fairs.

:24:15.:24:21.

There was bear-baiting, archery, wrestling, even horse-racing. We

:24:21.:24:26.

are coming to Blackfriars Bridge. In the last Frost Fair of 1814, as

:24:26.:24:32.

a publicity stunt, an elephant was walked from one side to the other.

:24:32.:24:38.

People were really skating in the 17th century? James the second even

:24:38.:24:43.

gave public skating displays. Looking at conditions today, I

:24:43.:24:48.

would say we were some way off a mini ice age. According to the Met

:24:48.:24:51.

Office, nine out of the last 10 years have been the warmest on

:24:51.:24:56.

record. So it is just as well that the world now benefits from the

:24:56.:25:01.

great advances that have been made in high-tech ice rink technology.

:25:01.:25:05.

Most portable ice rink systems are effectively paddling pools, and

:25:05.:25:08.

underneath the water there are pipes filled with an anti-freeze

:25:08.:25:14.

solution. Once the mixture circulates, it is turned down to

:25:14.:25:20.

miners 15 degrees, and after 12 hours, hey presto, we have ice. Now,

:25:20.:25:28.

I wonder if I can get some help with my moves. Excuse me. I have

:25:28.:25:33.

got a move that I need to do from the Torvill and Dean Classic and it

:25:33.:25:38.

involves a flourish with an arm, like that, at the same time

:25:38.:25:47.

pivoting around the outside leg. so one of these? That is exactly

:25:47.:25:50.

the right move. I would probably give it a little bit more of a

:25:50.:25:58.

flourish with my arm. I think I am starting to get the hang of it.

:25:58.:26:03.

Nearly. Hand. Do you think I will have it by the time I get to

:26:03.:26:07.

Hampton Court? You should do, if you keep your focus and keep

:26:07.:26:12.

practising and remember what I taught you. You should have it.

:26:12.:26:17.

Well, here we are at Hampton Court, the final rink in my skate down the

:26:18.:26:21.

Thames and it is time to deliver the goods and to see if I have

:26:21.:26:31.
:26:31.:26:44.

truly got the Torvill and Dean Wow! Who would have thought that?

:26:44.:26:50.

He is very good, isn't he? You didn't think it was me, did you?

:26:50.:26:58.

Just a bit of fun! There you are. Get out and enjoy the ice rinks in

:26:58.:27:06.

your area. Let's have a quick look around. There is a lovely one in

:27:06.:27:09.

the Eden Project in Cornwall. Every year they have a different theme

:27:09.:27:14.

and this year it is a palatial theme. Where could we go and skate?

:27:15.:27:20.

You could go to Glasgow, because I was told that. I like the idea that

:27:20.:27:23.

the council think that none of us have skated for 11 months of the

:27:23.:27:27.

year, so we will put an ice rink in the middle of the city. Surely

:27:27.:27:31.

there will not be an accident. is good fun for the kids. It is a

:27:31.:27:36.

winter Wonderland. But if you have an accident, don't forget to call

:27:36.:27:43.

this number! There is a lovely one in North Wales called Nadolig

:27:43.:27:47.

Betws-y-Coed, and the village is very pretty. It is in Snowdonia

:27:47.:27:51.

National Park. It has a rink in the centre of the village, plus a

:27:51.:27:55.

lantern parade and real reindeer. Can you prove that the lanterns are

:27:55.:28:04.

real? 11-year-old Lucy Burton is here. This is John Bishop. How are

:28:04.:28:12.

you. You look freezing. Quite cold. How long have you been skating?

:28:12.:28:19.

Three years. You take it seriously. Why? When I started, I did it as a

:28:19.:28:23.

hobby but as I did more, I decided I had a passion for it, so I

:28:23.:28:27.

decided to take it more seriously. I started going to London for

:28:27.:28:34.

lessons. You are very good. We have footage here. Did you find that it

:28:34.:28:39.

came naturally? Yes. This is so impressive. You cannot do this on

:28:39.:28:44.

this silly ice rink here. For the people who produced it, it is very

:28:44.:28:51.

good! Thank you for giving it to us this evening. You are looking for

:28:51.:28:57.

your own Christopher Dean. Have you auditioned anybody? No. You are

:28:57.:29:03.

willing to put in the practice with a new partner. All of the

:29:03.:29:07.

controversy around the One Show and now we are blind dating for 11-

:29:07.:29:17.
:29:17.:29:21.

year-old girls! She might need you. Congratulations after last weekend.

:29:21.:29:30.

You have been skating together for six years now. Proudest moments?

:29:30.:29:33.

The British Championships this weekend. Going to the Olympic Games

:29:33.:29:43.
:29:43.:29:44.

in Vancouver was fantastic. What about the Winter Olympics in 2018?

:29:44.:29:48.

It made us all the more hungry. The European Championships are in

:29:48.:29:58.
:29:58.:30:00.

England at the beginning of January next year. We'd be like Torvill and

:30:00.:30:10.

Dean? I would like to be. Are you a cup of -- a couple of the ice?

:30:10.:30:17.

are very lucky to be able to spend as much time together as we do. Yes,

:30:17.:30:26.

we act together. We are talking about winter Wonderland around the

:30:26.:30:32.

country. Any tips? Try and relax. Keep your feet together and bend

:30:32.:30:38.

your knees. We you perform a little routine with the military wives

:30:38.:30:48.
:30:48.:30:53.

singing behind to? -- will you These days, vegetables tend to be

:30:53.:31:00.

all the same - same shape, same colour, same taste. They are mass

:31:00.:31:05.

produced, making harvesting and packaging easier. There was a time

:31:05.:31:10.

when vegetables had more variety. A cauliflower like this would not

:31:10.:31:16.

have seemed so at odds. The vegetable kingdom used to be

:31:16.:31:23.

diverse. Then, in 1973, the EC decided it was time to regulate. In

:31:23.:31:29.

order to guarantee the quality of seats, European authorities

:31:29.:31:34.

introduced a list. If they were not on the list, it was illegal to sell

:31:34.:31:39.

them. Only the most commercially viable went on the list. Less

:31:39.:31:42.

commercially viable were never registered because they did not

:31:42.:31:48.

think it was worth it. Illegal and unloved, many obscure varieties

:31:48.:31:53.

would have vanished had it not have been for the Heritage seed Library.

:31:53.:31:59.

They are being kept from extinction by amateur growers who plant them

:31:59.:32:03.

and return the seats they produced to the library. We are not allowed

:32:03.:32:08.

to sell them, so we keep them and give them away to people who

:32:08.:32:15.

support us. They are participating in a conservation effort. What

:32:15.:32:20.

would have happened if you had not done it? A lot of varieties would

:32:20.:32:27.

have disappeared. How far back it is that one? It goes back to the

:32:27.:32:36.

13th century. Can I hold a 13th century been? Is this just a museum

:32:36.:32:42.

piece or does it have a value to us today? You must conserve as much as

:32:42.:32:50.

you can. Genes might be valuable in the future. If our current crop

:32:50.:32:56.

suffered a blight, the solution might lie with this? It might.

:32:56.:33:01.

Selling the vegetables they produce is not illegal. You can get them

:33:01.:33:07.

from farmers' markets and some supermarkets. We grow a wide range

:33:07.:33:13.

of different crops - including various different heritage

:33:13.:33:19.

varieties. A lot of London chefs are asking for them. I see someone

:33:19.:33:24.

has dumped a whole bunch of your crops. This is rainbow Chard and

:33:24.:33:31.

Swiss Chard. It was used in the olden days instead of spinach. This

:33:32.:33:37.

beetroot has beautiful, concentric circles of pink and white. If you

:33:37.:33:43.

put that on your plate, you would know about it. This is a golden

:33:43.:33:50.

beetroot - another heritage variety. This has beautiful flesh. I think

:33:50.:33:55.

people are looking for these heritage varieties. The earlier

:33:55.:34:01.

this year, Europe agreed to relax the law on seed selling. Good news

:34:01.:34:11.
:34:11.:34:11.

for this chef at the Dog and Pheasant. We had root vegetables

:34:11.:34:18.

with Parma ham. Delight cooking with these heritage vegetables?

:34:18.:34:24.

Absolutely. My lunch looks good on the plate but will it taste good?

:34:24.:34:31.

They taste amazing. It is a delight that people are working really hard

:34:31.:34:37.

to keep these historic vegetables alive. The least I can do to

:34:37.:34:41.

celebrate that is eat them. It was about time we had hysterics

:34:41.:34:51.
:34:51.:34:54.

vegetables on the show. -- historic. A guy had four acres at Kew Gardens

:34:54.:35:01.

that he sold it for there. It was freezing outside and we have come

:35:01.:35:09.

back in. You have some lovely soup for us. We have our own favourite

:35:09.:35:16.

suits. I like carrot and coriander. It just used to be carried when I

:35:16.:35:26.
:35:26.:35:26.

was a kid but now they but coriander in. -- carrot. Are we

:35:26.:35:36.

having shots? Could the show gets any more bizarre? Happy Friday to

you. I am a big fan of soup will stop it is a strange thing to be a

fan of. Let's go again. We are in for some night. How is your ox

DUP think I'm stupid? It is a classic dish. -- do you think?

:36:33.:36:42.

have been a vegetarian for 20 years? 25 years. I was almost a

:36:42.:36:46.

chef. I was running a hamburger shop, which is a complicated thing

:36:47.:36:56.
:36:57.:36:58.

to do. It was in Guernsey. The shop was called Chicken George. I walked

:36:58.:37:05.

into the wrong room to collect the meet at the wrong time. I worked as

:37:05.:37:11.

a butcher's boy in a butcher's shop. Maybe it takes different

:37:11.:37:18.

personalities. Did it not put you off? I thought, a no, that was it!

:37:18.:37:28.
:37:28.:37:30.

Healthy eating came into it. It is your silver anniversary. It is. If

:37:30.:37:37.

I was younger I would kill my dog. Do not say that. He does not mean

:37:37.:37:41.

it. Sometimes when people say things on the show they do not mean,

:37:41.:37:48.

it does not make any difference. Could you retract that now? There

:37:48.:37:53.

will be loads of people going to Battersea Dogs Home for a barbecue

:37:53.:37:57.

right now! Many of you at home will be put in at your Christmas lights

:37:57.:38:04.

and decorations. Some folk always take things a little too far. Lucy

:38:04.:38:09.

Siegle is live with one such gentlemen in Bradford. This is

:38:09.:38:15.

brilliant. Hello, Chris. I am on the outskirts of Bradford. I wanted

:38:15.:38:24.

to check this out. Isn't that beautiful?! Absolutely amazing.

:38:24.:38:30.

Last Friday night I was in the company of a fire-engine obsessive,

:38:30.:38:36.

this Friday I am with a Christmas lights obsessive. I lost my dad

five years ago through can serve. I raise money for the hospice.

have really developed a passion for these bolts, haven't you? Each year

:38:48.:38:55.

it gets bigger and better. It will be visible from space! I hope so.

:38:55.:39:01.

Please can you pick a favourite thing? I know that is like asking

:39:01.:39:10.

you to pick a favourite child. on! It would have to be the polar

:39:10.:39:16.

bear. There are two. There are two of everything. People come from far

:39:16.:39:24.

and wide to see your lights. As far as Scotland. Some people see it by

:39:24.:39:30.

mistake. If you are on an aeroplane from Leeds-Bradford airport, you

:39:30.:39:36.

can see it. You would have to be it on the left-hand side of the plane.

:39:36.:39:41.

You are a twisted genius when it comes to Christmas lights. A lot of

:39:41.:39:47.

people have it inflicted on him. This is inflicted on his neighbours.

:39:47.:39:55.

How did they feel? Does it ever get too much? No, not at all. As soon

:39:55.:40:05.

as you see the lights, we love it. That is a dangerous thing to say!

:40:05.:40:15.
:40:15.:40:19.

love them. Isabel, do you love the lights? Why? It is nearly Christmas.

:40:19.:40:23.

Good lights? We get involved at every year. It is very cold but we

:40:23.:40:29.

are keeping warm with the Christmas spirit. We're up tripping the light

:40:29.:40:37.

fantastic. What you want to wish everybody? Happy Christmas! Are you

:40:37.:40:44.

a fan of Christmas lights like that? I think it is brilliant.

:40:44.:40:50.

about the rules in your household? When does it go up? Ask my wife.

:40:50.:40:56.

She makes the whole house like Santa's grotto. Are you doing it

:40:56.:41:02.

this weekend? She started on Friday. She put the few vines up the stairs.

:41:02.:41:12.
:41:12.:41:20.

I do not know what they are! Gardens! Well done! -- garlands!

:41:20.:41:30.
:41:30.:41:31.

She waited three of birth date to be finished. -- for your birthday.

:41:31.:41:35.

Is this a question that is decent and worth asking? Did you get

:41:35.:41:39.

married and have children just so you had something to talk about in

:41:39.:41:47.

your comedy act? No, I was not a comedian. I do not think I would

:41:47.:41:53.

have a comic actor if I was not married with children. A lot of it

:41:53.:41:59.

was about your relationship with your wife. I'll tell you what it is.

:41:59.:42:07.

I did not go into comedy thinking I would be a comedian. I fell into it.

:42:07.:42:13.

I have to go on stage and talk like I am talking to my mates. When I

:42:13.:42:22.

started comedy, I was split up. Talking about the last show, the

:42:22.:42:28.

sunshine top, I have three teenage boys. Anyone with three teenagers

:42:28.:42:38.
:42:38.:42:39.

has a lot to moan about. I moan about my life and make people laugh.

:42:39.:42:45.

Not knowing what wages up coming in, I cannot guarantee you are going to

:42:45.:42:52.

get the presence you are used to getting at Christmas. They went,

:42:52.:42:59.

why, Dad? I said because I have left my job. What are you going to

:42:59.:43:06.

do? I said I am going to be a comedian. They went, you are not

:43:06.:43:15.

funny! That is it. They are allowed to set up because they are your

:43:15.:43:22.

pockets. Your first DVD sold 750,000 copies. How do you feel

:43:22.:43:27.

about the second one? It is not a case you look at numbers, I feel

:43:27.:43:34.

very lucky to be doing the job. There are up 10,000 people. To be

:43:34.:43:40.

on your own in front of 10,000 people, says something at the end

:43:40.:43:44.

and they all laugh, it is the brilliant feeling. You finished

:43:44.:43:50.

your tour in the summer. You have a new one next year. It is called

:43:50.:43:56.

roller-coaster. I was sitting round and I needed a name. One of my sons

:43:56.:44:06.
:44:06.:44:10.

came up with the name. The other said, My Dad Going To Work. That is

:44:10.:44:15.

next year. It is at the Renos starting next September. It will be

:44:15.:44:25.
:44:25.:44:26.

based on what goes on between now and then. Let's hope lots goes on.

:44:26.:44:30.

You have a Christmas special. Do you come there's been a height of

:44:30.:44:40.
:44:40.:44:42.

summer? We filmed it in Salford in July. -- film bears. I was wearing

:44:42.:44:47.

a Christmas jumper. All these people were in vests and sandals.

:44:47.:44:55.

They were saying, this is ridiculous. We have an exclusive

:44:55.:45:04.

club. You get a present and she will wrap it up and it is as if it

:45:04.:45:13.

is going on the back of a yak for three weeks. A bloke crapping

:45:13.:45:18.

something up basically means putting it in a different bag. --

:45:18.:45:28.
:45:28.:45:34.

wrapping. That is on Boxing Day, Are you staying for the rest of the

:45:34.:45:39.

show? I do not know what is going on. It is like having a chat with

:45:39.:45:45.

my nan. I hope you love this. We have some extraordinary ladies here

:45:45.:45:50.

tonight, who are 20 out of 100 reasons why they could well be this

:45:50.:45:55.

year's Christmas number one. They are the Military Wives Choir,

:45:55.:46:01.

brought together for the BBC Two series The Choir with Gareth Malone.

:46:01.:46:04.

Their story has touched the nation. While their husbands and partners

:46:05.:46:08.

are fighting in Afghanistan, they hold of the thing together back

Was that OK? Gareth, tell us the story. Who are these women and

:49:11.:49:17.

where did you get them? These women are all from Devon, they are placed

:49:17.:49:20.

in Devon while their husbands are in Afghanistan. I went and worked

:49:20.:49:24.

with them and created this wonderful choir. What was the

:49:24.:49:29.

point? To give them a voice, to get them heard, to make people

:49:29.:49:33.

understand what they go through and how they support the troops. It has

:49:33.:49:37.

become more than that because it is now about raising money for

:49:37.:49:42.

wonderful military charities. song will be out when? You can

:49:42.:49:51.

order it now and it is out on... If you order it now, it will count

:49:51.:49:56.

towards the Christmas number one sales. It is not about beating the

:49:56.:50:01.

X Factor, is it? No, it is not about beating anyone. It is about

:50:01.:50:04.

the charities who do so much fantastic work with military

:50:04.:50:08.

families all over the country. This is a really important thing. It is

:50:08.:50:11.

not the competition, it is about doing something really supportive

:50:11.:50:15.

for these women and for thousands like them all over the country.

:50:15.:50:23.

Where did the lyrics come from? of the words have come from women's

:50:23.:50:27.

letters, and men's letters, from Afghanistan. They donated their

:50:27.:50:32.

letters and a wonderful composer has created this beautiful piece.

:50:32.:50:36.

It has got their heart in it. When they sing it, I think you can hear

:50:36.:50:41.

how much feeling and emotion there is. And for how long the feeling

:50:41.:50:47.

has been pent up. I arrived, and they were reluctant to sing with

:50:47.:50:54.

emotion, stiff upper lip, British singing. And now it is like some

:50:54.:50:58.

gushing American outpouring. Incredibly emotional video. We

:50:58.:51:02.

noticed you were one of the soloists. Did you have to audition?

:51:02.:51:07.

Yes. Do you have a musical background? Did you know each other

:51:07.:51:13.

before? Have you just made friends through the video with Gareth?

:51:13.:51:17.

me, I have not been in the area that long so why did not know many

:51:17.:51:21.

people. Doing this was a great way to make friends and get myself out

:51:21.:51:25.

there and get more confidence. it comforting to share your

:51:25.:51:30.

experience with the other girls? Absolutely. Everybody supports each

:51:30.:51:34.

other. All of the girls know what the other girls are going through.

:51:34.:51:38.

So it makes it easier for us to be able to cope with the situation.

:51:38.:51:42.

But what the choir has done is just incredible. We never expected any

:51:42.:51:48.

of this. And all that we want to do now is to raise as much funds as we

:51:48.:51:51.

can for these two wonderful charities, the Royal British Legion

:51:51.:51:55.

and the other charity, whose support not just the soldiers, but

:51:55.:52:01.

support the soldiers' families, extended families. They need funds,

:52:01.:52:05.

and without us raising the funds, they can struggle at times. So the

:52:05.:52:10.

thing is, we need to get out there, sell as many... It is not about

:52:10.:52:13.

getting to number one, it is about selling as many copies as possible

:52:13.:52:18.

to raise as much funds as we can for these wonderful charities.

:52:18.:52:23.

very much deserve it. Hello to the other 80 girls who are at home. We

:52:23.:52:29.

are thinking about you. Earlier this year, we featured the story

:52:29.:52:32.

about a brave nine-year-old boy called Ethan who was born without

:52:32.:52:36.

an here. Here is a reminder of what happened and how his story gave

:52:36.:52:44.

hope to another young man. When he was born, we realise there

:52:44.:52:48.

was a problem. He had all of his fingers and toes but we noticed

:52:48.:52:53.

instantly that he did not have an easier. Nine-year-old Ethan was

:52:53.:52:59.

born with a syndrome which meant he did not have one of his ears.

:52:59.:53:06.

you remember why you want to have one? I Want To Be Like You, with

:53:06.:53:14.

ears. Ethan had pioneering plastic surgery using cartilage taken from

and nervous. He is perfect to me, and to me he does not need it doing.

But I understand how he feels and what he needs, and that is what I

have to think. Seeing your child have an operation is not going to

there was no room for error. When it was almost finished, the

surgeons had to stretch a thin layer of skin over the framework.

:54:37.:54:41.

The cartilage has been inserted and everything has been stitched in, so

It was one of the things I was always hoping for. That is the

first time I have heard him say When the film was first broadcast,

it resonated with the Bolton family. Like Ethan, 13-year-old Byron was

born with the same syndrome. Wow! Did you see that? Look at that.

:56:11.:56:18.

Magic! We watched the One Show and it was like, wow! Did you see that?

:56:18.:56:24.

The look on his face, and his smile. I said, one day, you will have that.

amazing! It is so soft. It is just like a normal here. I am quite
